FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Caltrans to Close San Mateo-Hayward Bridge Over Two Weekends
San Mateo and Alameda Counties – Caltrans will close the San
Mateo-Hayward Bridge over two weekends, October 19-22 and October 26-29. The full closure for all eastbound and
westbound lanes will begin at 10:00 p.m. on Friday and continue until 5:00 a.m.
on Monday. The bridge will be open for
the weekday commute.
The full closure will allow crews to install a new seismic joint and replace
60 feet of the bridge deck just east of the high rise.
Commuters are
asked to use alternate routes such as the Dumbarton Bridge, San Francisco
Oakland Bay Bridge, or the southern route along Highway 237.
On the
eastbound side (Foster City) the on-ramp from Edgewater Boulevard and Metro
Center Boulevard will be closed. On the westbound side (Hayward) the on-ramp
from Industrial Boulevard and Clawiter Road will be closed. All off-ramps will
remain open. Mainline traffic will be guided to exit eastbound 92 at Foster
City Boulevard and westbound 92 at Clawiter Road. One westbound lane may be closed as early as
11 a.m. on Friday.
Changeable
message signs will be posted throughout the Bay Area to notify motorist of the
upcoming closures.
